My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 886

Chapter 886: Repeatedly Clarified

Initially, Ayan didn't think it would be related to Preston. He had only considered Preston's absence from Hance City. However, he overlooked one thing – Preston might not be in Hance City, but his people were. If Cora mentioned anything related to him or Camille, Preston would never miss the tiniest opportunity.

He had been silent for so long because he was repeatedly clarifying this line of thought. Once it became clear, many things would also become clear.

So, after confessing to Kian, he immediately understood.

Kian said, "Okay, I'll go check on Quintus now." Worry filled his eyes as he continued, "Mr. Simpson, if it's true that Preston arranged for Quintus to take Cora away, then Preston probably knows by now. Will Madame find out soon as well?"

Ayan narrowed his eyes, his emotions deep and complex. He didn't say a word, and his expression could be described as extremely unsightly.

In the end, he didn't answer the question. He just waved his hand, signaling Kian to go and deal with the matters they had just discussed.

Kian left the office, and the assistant followed immediately. The assistant asked in a low voice, "Kian, did something happen? Mrs. Simpson called Mr. Simpson and you earlier today. Mr. Simpson didn't come to the company in the morning, and he seems a bit upset. Did they have a fight?"

The assistant was anxious, just wanting to clarify the situation. If there was a fight, everyone needed to be careful about what they did.

Taking a deep breath, Kian went to his desk, picked up the water cup, and drank half of it before responding calmly, "There's nothing wrong. Don't pry into it. Just focus on your own work. Mr. Simpson won't get angry and blame anyone easily."

The assistant nodded hastily and felt a little relieved.

After settling the other tasks, Kian left the company to investigate Quintus.

Quintus' residence and usual schedule were reported to him regularly. Since Preston wasn't in Hance City recently, Quintus had a little more freedom, and his daily routines were different from before.

Kian arrived at Quintus' residence by car. According to the usual time, Quintus should be in his apartment at this hour. However, when Kian inquired with the property management, he found out that Quintus had left his apartment around midnight and hadn't returned since.

Kian arranged for someone to keep watch and drove back to Simpson Group.

It was not feasible to investigate every location where Quintus might have gone since it would require considerable effort and resources. Moreover, some places didn't have surveillance cameras.

Kian reported this to Ayan, who said, "Your guess is correct. If it's not Quintus, why would he coincidentally leave around midnight and not return until now?"

Ayan took a silent breath, his expression still somber. He said, "What news do you have about Preston?"

"Our people in Flento City have been monitoring the Walker family closely. They are willing to accept Preston marrying Molly, but the conditions are somewhat strict. Molly is still considering it, and there have been no movements from Preston's side."

Kian conveyed the conditions of the Walker family to Ayan and asked cautiously, "Do you think Preston will agree? If Molly loses the inheritance rights of the Walker family, then after marrying her, he won't gain anything. This would deviate from his original goal, right?"

"Since marrying Molly is to secure his position and background through the Walker family, he won't act foolishly to offend Luke and the Walker family, especially when everything is still under Luke's control. Besides, he can't do anything to harm Luke now," Kian speculated.

"To reassure the Walker family and get them to agree to marry Molly?" Kian asked tentatively.

Ayan neither confirmed nor denied it, only squinted his eyes, and a faintly aloof expression appeared in his gaze. He spoke in a low and mellow voice, "Accepting conditions and agreeing to them are two different things. Someone like Preston won't accept conditions that offer him no benefit."

"If he doesn't accept these conditions, there's only one way, and that's to deceive the Walker family in collaboration with the lawyers," Kian continued, articulating Ayan's thoughts.
